Christian Book Submissions

Strategic Book Marketing is looking to expand our Christian book titles.

                     

After 30 years as print news journalist and editor, Mark Bredt has entered into a lifelong ambition of book publishing. Following his heart, and a calling, Mark has chosen to focus his efforts on Christian works serving as publisher of the Christian division of Strategic Book Marketing. Mark is active in his local church serving on the board of trustees and as director of Bless University offering continuing education for lay ministry and those who seek to know more of God's plan for us.

What is a Christian book? Books that support our statement of beliefs will be considered "Christian" works for the purposes of publication. Writings that are religious or spiritual in nature but do not support the statement of beliefs will be referred to other divisions of the Strategic Publishing Group. Determination of a writing as "Christian" is to be solely determined by the publisher.

Statement of beliefs for the Christian Division of Strategic Book Publishing

• The church of God is composed of all spiritually regenerated persons. We believe in one God, the creator of all things. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God being of one substance with the Father, who for the salvation of mankind, descended from heaven and was made incarnate by the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mary. Jesus was the fulfillment of prophesy according to Scripture, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose from the grave on the third day, ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God. We believe Jesus will return, with glory, to judge mankind and bring the righteous to God's kingdom and eternal life.

• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the giver of life, derived from the Father and the Son and with them worshipped and glorified. We believe the Spirit guides us into truth as it is found in Jesus.

•We believe in the plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures given by divine inspiration and revealing the will of God and all knowledge necessary to our salvation.

• We believe in Original Sin inherited from our first parents that remains within us until the heart is fully cleansed through baptism with the Holy Spirit, and in personal sin, the voluntary violation of a known law of God by a morally responsible person.

• We believe Jesus Christ made a full atonement for all human sin and that this atonement is the only ground for salvation. We believe all people who turn from sin, who believe in Jesus Christ as the only source for the pardon and cleansing of their sin, and who follow good works pleasing and acceptable in His sight shall maintain His grace.

• We will prioritize questions that come through our Client Care Matrix. Please become familiar with using this site for the life of our business relationship. www.aegpublishinggroup.com/clientcare.html. If you have an emergency, put the word "EMERGENCY" in the subject line of this form email and we will attempt to address your issue.

    Note to Minors (authors less than 18 years old): We are proud of what you have accomplished. There are success stories of minors as authors. However, we never sugarcoat the odds for success. The odds are long, long, and long.

    We also want you to understand a bit more about the industry. Buyers don't care the age of the writer, so, we don't either. This also means that we don't give special treatment to minors. We treat them as adults and we will communicate with them the same way we talk to the attorneys, doctors, and other clients that we have on our roster.

    A minor cannot sign our contract. A parent or guardian must sign the contract if issued. Please feel free to email us any questions you may have, but for the most part, if you choose to continue with us, we will treat you (or your child) as we would an adult writer.

    Thank you in advance for this information. We will get back to you in one week or less. Please whitelist (accept email from) Submissions@StrategicBookPublishing.com
